Video (4min 50sec): The next time you enjoy a glass of wine, think about your place in history. Wine may date back to 6000 BCE.
Nowadays, we drink it from bottles not animal skins, but the basic principals of wine making remain the same.
Wine grapes grow best in temperate climates, but if grape vines are well protected they can survive a Canadian winter.
The riper the grapes, the sweeter the wine, so growers wait as long as possible before harvesting their crop.
Pickers gather grapes by hand, cutting off the bunches with shears to avoid tearing the plant.
For Red Wine, winemakers use the entire red grape - juice, skin, pulp, and even the seeds. For White Wine, they use just the juice of white grapes.
